Shadowlife
Why do you -- Invade me I beg you -- don't leave me Don't trust you -- don't trust me I stand here -- benignly What is inside that's pushing me We're all a puppet on a string This wooden world is just like me We're all puppets on a string -- on a string I hurt you -- you killed me I love you -- you hated me You gave in -- it thrilled me You sex was -- fulfilling What is inside that's pushing me Like a puppet on a string This wooden world is just like me We're all puppets on a string -- on a string I hurt you -- you tortured me I love you -- you hated me You gave in -- it thrilled me Your sex was fulfilling I hurt you -- you cut me Your painful emission of how you felt How you felt -- how you felt My ego -- could not take What is inside that's pushing me Like a puppet on a string This wooden world is just like me We're all puppets on a string -- on a string We're all puppets on a string You buried me You buried me on a string
Wait for me behind The walls behind the sky Revolution finds The road to ease our minds Can we walk outside and Leave our fragile pride Within the holes forever Deeper we must hide Shattered pictures of A moment lost in time Between the cracks in the ground Between the cracks in the ground I see a painted face Through a colored haze An enchanted place Its time to sail away In my eyes I've lived a life That's so surreal My imagination questions what is real Shadows spinning in my mind Just like a wheel Between the cracks in the ground Between the cracks in the ground Passing through the doors I stop to close them one by one Looking through the keyholes far behind

So -- so incomplete We look into the world -- find no peace Once -- it seemed serene We'd be forever young and so it seemed What does it mean -- I find no answers Kept in a dream -- soft colored layers I see myself through the looking glass A shade of gray A shade of black No ups or downs Just in betweens The gentle rain begins to fall Come with me and see it all Rise above the world upon my wings I was sleeping with the Sky beneath my feet Now I drift endless and free With the wind that carries me What does it mean -- what does it matter Kept in a dream with soft colored layers The gentle rain begins to fall Come with me and see it all Rise above the world Upon my wings I was sleeping with the Sky beneath my feet

Overtake me -- seize The vision through my eyes And reinstate me -- Bathe me in your sunlight Until I know -- until I know Constant motion -- kept me standing still Howling silence -- penetrate And break my will So re-embrace me -- the release Me one more time Until I know -- until I know So re-embrace me -- the release Me one more time Until I know -- until I know

Liquid fused around my body Swimming in the night's black water Justifies a child's exsistance Innocence abounds within us But what does it matter Watch my hand turn shades of gray Feel my life's breath fade away Soon I'll walk through gates of steel To a place not yet revealed But what does it matter Hello death, hello death Hello death -- how do you do? I don't remember calling you All I need is just a drink of water Help me Jesus -- try to ease my pain All I need is just to drink your water Hello Mr. Death please go away Here I go into the earth And here I'll wait until my birth I will rise again someday Tranquility will find a way But what does it matter Hello death, hello death Hello death -- how do you do? I don't remember calling you All I need is just a drink of water Help me Jesus -- try to ease my pain All I need is just to drink your water Hello Mr. Death please go away

I'm walkin' down these dark streets - all alone A light ahead free coffee if you have no home A parking lot full of people - same as me Waiting for the Messiah - his shift will start at three He's a real convenience store messiah Idol worship for an idle mind He's a real convenience store messiah Turning bottled water into win Waiting for the papers to come outside They make such nice warm blankets - get in line Sometimes he might let us - stay inside The only one who will listen He can be so kind He's a real convenience store messiah Idol worship for an idle mind He's a real convenience store messiah Turning bottled water into wine (They see through eyes) Looking through his window (A glowing light) Staring at his vision late at night (They idolize, they realize) Reaching out their hands He's a real convenience store messiah Idol worship for an idle mind He's a real convenience store messiah Turning bottled water into wine

Seeing no one Touching something Fingers reaching out Senses burning All from learning No ones sees The colors in my mind Silent darkness speaks my name - Everything changes yet stays the same Like darkness into day I know what is to come Long days without sun I feel I feel Slowly moving Endless motion Floating forward now Soaring higher Drifting nowhere I felt that I was somewhere else Total blindness still remains Everyone changes - I stay the same The hours slip away I'll feel this pain no more My future waits outside the door I feel - I feel (crystallized - piece of time) I feel The sun is shining over me Warming my senses I make a plea I'm guilty of feeling So why is it so hard to see I feel - I feel (crystallized - piece of time) I feel - I feel (Blood stained eyes - open wide) I feel
I will rise up - over this 'Till I come to a higher place I will find strength - let go Of all the ties to my disgrace I'm no more - and no less Than anyone else Looking for a new horizon I can find in myself (It's all right) the shadow's gone (Shine your light) with the risin' sun (It's all right) take me as I am (Yeah yeah yeah) cuz here I stand No hesitation - holdin' back I'll take each step one by one But I might fall - I could stray If I loose my eye's today I'm only one in a crowd I'm just one voice on the line Looking for a new horizon Another place another time (It's all right) the shadow's gone (Shine your light) with the risin' sun (It's all right) take me as I am (Yeah yeah yeah) cuz here I stand In our hands a light shines We still wonder Change our world into sand We will hunger Like a child -fears the night- Draws near its mother Like a son -fears no one- Will cast our shadow forever 'Cause here I stand

In the middle of the night you Know I heard the voices call Said they'd try to ease me through my pain Then I started to question Am I sane or confused Don't think that I will ever know It's hard to believe That the sun still sets without you I was so afraid to let you know It's hard to believe That the world still turns without you I was so afraid to let you go I was starting to believe That I was destined for the worst It was all the life I'd ever know It was getting to the point that I'd Thought I'd not return I was so unsure of where I'd go It's hard to believe That the sun still sets without you I was so afraid to let you know It's hard to believe That the world still turns without you I was so afraid to let you go In the middle of the night Sometimes I hear the voices call Don't think that I will ever know It's hard to believe That the sun still sets without you I was so afraid to let you know It's hard to believe That the world still turns without you I was so afraid to let you go

Take me along to a place I remember Where all of my friends - now they're gone forever How they love the sweet life I'm destined to run with the Holy I must wait Dying inside ever slowly I'll be on my way I saw the flame of the candle burning down so low I danced with my friends 'til they had to go My spirit stayed -give me no relief My spirit stayed -gave me no release How they loved the sweet life I'm destined to run with the Holy I must wait Dying inside ever slowly I'll be on my way Sitting alone in a darkened room Trail of smoke and warn out mind Mister depression overstayed his welcome Something inside took me away Take me along to a place I remember All of my friends -thought I knew them better How they loved the sweet life

Darlin' -don't let me go Until the last train rides I wanna stay with you When the morning comes And it's time to rise But I can't lift my head - baby let me die Release the sorrow - deep within my eyes Life's only borrowed Don't build your world with bitter regret 'Cuz I still feel it's not over yet What we've done we'll have to forget Or all you'll reap is bitter regret Wonderin' -how this came to pass Why my future runs through the hourglass Talk to me - 'cuz I can't lift my head Anti-social suicide lyin' on my bed Release the sorrow - deep within my eyes Life's only borrowed 'Cuz I still feel it's not over yet What we've done you'll have to forget Or all we'll reap is bitter regret [Talkin' to my friend misfortune take me for a ride how I wish that I could only give you back your life again] Darlin' - I wanna stay with you 'Til the morning comes And that last train rides

I was lost without you I was sinking in a storm I thought the world had left me Now I know that I was wrong It's Resurrection Day Gonna leave it all behind Gonna clear my mind of you Gonna pave my own road I don't mind -what you want I don't mind when your Hounds begin to beg I don't mind when you Kick the ones that fall I don't mind - I don't mind at all It's better to be lonely Than to live with all your pain I was walking through the desert I was calling out your name But I never got an answer Still I loved you just the same The sun began to burn me Reminded me of all those days I don't mind -what you want I don't mind when your Hounds begin to beg I don't mind when you Kick the ones that fall I don't mind - I don't mind at all When you leave me for another I won't be calling out your name Now that burning sun is setting Only one thing left to say I don't mind -what you want I don't mind when your Hounds begin to beg I don't mind when you Kick the ones that fall I don't mind - I don't mind
